Meet Dr. Smith
Dr. Sean Adrian Smith was born in Baton Rouge, where he attended St. Thomas More Elementary School, Catholic High School, and LSU. He completed his formal education at the LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans and continues to expand his knowledge to provide excellence in orthodontics. He has proudly been serving his hometown community since opening his doors in August of 2000.
A year later, he established a satellite office in Leesville, Louisiana, where he has the honor of serving our troops and their families stationed at Fort Polk, as well as patients and families throughout the Leesville community. In 2022, Dr. Smith opened his second satellite location, joining the doctors at Sullivan Dental Center in St. Francisville to provide patients throughout the Felicianas with specialized orthodontic care.
